    those words are so profound. I read this in literature class at 13 years of age, and I have never forgotten it. Brought back many fond memories. Thank you for sharing, my dear.

        Trinidad & Tobago was former colony..stuck under British system of education. So we read Shakespeare in secondary school. English literature was one of my fav subjects.

        At the 10:20 mark, this link shows how the sonnet would have sounded in the original pronunciation (OP) if you’re interested, Selma. One good share deserves another, wouldn’t you say?! 😊💝

          Performed at around 2:00 in Shakespeare’s time/ making direct contact with the audience/ Something about working our way back to Shakespeare rather than dragging him into the 21st Century—I enjoyed knowing about the passion invested in the pursuit of something wonderful. How lovely this is. Thanks Dora. I appreciated this so much. Blessings.
